My mom, actually my whole family, is not supportive of me either. They've seen me get fatter and fatter and fail at several attempts to lose weight. So now I'm the only fat person in my immediate family and it's almost like they are ashamed of me. Anyway, I just decided this time to not even tell my mom I was losing weight or on phen or walking or anything. I just didn't even go near the whole topic at all. And then over Christmas, she said "I can really tell you have lost some weight, Kim." I just said, "yeah, I've lost a few pounds." I played it off and changed the subject. Wait until we hit our goals and then we can prove it to them without saying a word!
Hang in there. Weight loss is hard enough without these non-supportive obstacles, but it's for YOU anyway, not for them. You can do it! And I'd go for the 8's - next thing you know, they'll be baggy, too.
